Title: A. Zenith El Primero 42mm vs B. Zenith Chronomaster 42mm
Post by: jameswong6590 on October 18, 2016, 06:24:54 PM
Hello everyone. I have a difficult time deciding between these two watches.  A is iconic with date and B is way cooler but without the date and more expensive.   Please help me out and let me know which one you would go for. Thanks a bunch!

Why A and not B?

Because B is "without the date and more expensive" and worst of all I don't find it "cooler" :D

Personally i would pick A... Just because i am.a sucker for historically accurate pieces...
B is a pretty cool piece. The exposed balance wheel is a nice eye candy.
Lack of date is not a big deal if you have other watches in rotation, in fact, it will be better since u have one less thing to adjust.

Quite a difficult decision, I'm also contemplating between the tri-color or a more "fancy" el primero. I think though, we should probably go for the watch we actually like more rather then let factors like history and classic-ness decide lol.

I personally would pick A, as the I am uncertain if my fascination over the open heart will be enduring or just fleeting!

An easy question, no competition.
A for me. I like the design + it is a classic. I don't like watches with holes on dial
